Moon

Moon
you lighten the way
in a neverending circle
Your typical face
to be seen from down here
in a starlit winter night
but your craters were already explored
footsteps, a flag and garbage
was left to you
poor moon

But moon
since primeval times sang of
admired and gratefully seen
as a guide,
or when you hid,
as a protector in the dark
Moon
always also the sign of the women
and symbol of the loving
who shared underneath you
their happiest hours
and those whose memories
you hide
and will hide
forever
enviable moon
in the universe.
